Dear Teasley Families,

There is a message below from our Superintendent, Dr. Hinojosa, regarding the School Improvement Survey.  Please take a moment to read it and be sure to complete the survey.  You may have received a paper copy of the survey or you may complete it online, whichever you prefer.  Paper copies of the survey may be returned in a box marked in the front lobby or in the office.  I truly look forward to your feedback as we all work together to make Teasley the best it can be!!  Remember that the deadline is February 10, 2012.  Thank you so much,

 

Leslie Mansfield, Principal 

 

A message from the Superintendent:


Cobb County School District is committed to providing quality education for all students.  Each school in the district has developed a school strategic plan to identify specific goals and activities that will address the unique needs of its students. 

Feedback from staff, parents and community members is important to the school strategic planning process. Your participation in School Improvement Survey will provide feedback about the quality of educational services and programs in our schools.

Your responses to the survey are anonymous. Results will be provided to the principals later in the school year and will be used, along with other information, to identify priorities for the school.

We invite you to take a few minutes, respond to the survey which can be found at this link:

http://www.cobbk12.org/sisurvey 

The survey will be available until February 10, 2012,  and should take about 15 - 20 minutes to complete.  Your opinions are vital to the future of our schools and through participation in this survey you become active in helping your child's school principal identify critical issues to be addressed. 

If you have any questions concerning the survey, please contact the principal at your child's school. 

Respectfully,

Michael Hinojosa, Ed.D.
Superintendent

 

 

“Teasley’s Got talent”

 

Can your child sing…dance…do magic…or have some other unique talent?

If so, we want them to be a part of this year’s variety show! 

We are showcasing the very best of what our students can do to put on an amazing performance!

The students will have the opportunity to pick up permission slips starting the week of February 6^th outside my door.  Permission slips are due back to me NO LATER than Friday February 17^th.  Once we determine how many students are interested in participating we will decide on the dates for auditions and rehearsals. 

Permission slips will include a behavior contract for you and your child to sign.  This must be completed in order for your child to participate.  No child can participate without a signed permission slip.  If you have any questions please contact me at the e-mail address listed below.

Thank you!

Ms. Hammond would like for you to see her message below:

Dear Mrs. MacLellan, Parents, and Students,

 

Thank you so much for the Barnes and Noble gift card and the engraved picture frame! That was so generous and thoughtful of you all. Barnes and Noble is one of my favorite places to shop. Also, I loved all the handmade cards and sweet letters that you wrote. I can tell you spent time on them. I am keeping them in a safe place for whenever I need some kind and encouraging words.

 

Thank you again for a special last day!

 

Ms. Hammond
